BROCKWORTH, England (AP) — For the second year running, a German YouTuber was the big cheese Monday at one of Britain’s zaniest sports competitions. Tom Kopke slipped, stumbled and tumbled his way to victory in the annual Cooper’s Hill cheese rolling race. “All the people at the top said they were going to steal my title but this is mine,” a shirtless Kopke declared as he clutched his prize, a 7-pound (3-kilogram) wheel of Double Gloucester cheese.
